    Wsm lower grate

    A tip for great flavor for your brisket or pork shoulder. I put a drip pan on the lower grate on my wsm 22.5 and catch all of the drippings and when done with the cook pull the shoulder or slice the brisket and then pour the drippings over the brisket or mix the drippings into the pulled pork...

    Brinkmann Smoke N Pit low temps, too much charcoal

    Get yourself a big welder blanket at a hardware store. I use one here in New York when temps are in teens and it really helps get the heat up and hold it there. I use spring clamps to connect the ends of the blanket around the smoker and firebox. I don't have your smoker but use it on my...

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    I haven't had Franklins BBQ but did try a pork shoulder with just salt and pepper as Aaron described it and it was amazing. I will never go back to the pork rubs I have made or bought at stores. It came out black as coal due to the pepper. Not burnt mind you, just black. AMAZING! Sometimes we...

    Just got a Traeger - any words of wisdom?

    Check out ortech controls. They got together with traeger and built a digital thermometer and I feel it is better than what traeger is selling. Puts more smoke out during smoke cycle and is more adjustable. Price is right also. I meant digital thermostat.

    Just got a Traeger - any words of wisdom?

    Check out the hopper extender that traeger offers as an accessory. I can get almost 20 lbs of pellets in my lil tex. You won't have to worry about pellets even on a 12 hour smoke. Enjoy!

    Bbq guru vs pitmaster controller

    Was wondering if anyone had tried both the bbq guru digiq temperature controller and the pitmaster iq120 controller and could give me feedback on your preference and pros and cons. I will be using it on my new 22.5 Weber Smokey Mountain.

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    Never had Franklins, although I want to but have been to Salt Lick Bbq. Their beef ribs are the best bbq I have had to date. Bordering on a religious experience.

    Building uds

    Thanks, I am happy to find you guys. I love to learn about bbq. I currently cook on a traeger junior and recently upgraded to the ortech digital control. It outputs much more smoke than the traeger digital control and am much more happy with it. Just made salmon jerky yesterday and it is my best...

    Building uds

    Ok, thanks for your input. That sure would be a possibility. I was hoping maybe someone had tried it so I could learn from their success or failure. I prob will stick with the standard approach when I build mine.

    Building uds

    Hi everybody...I am looking to build a uds and wondereded. Is it feasible to cut the bottom out of a uds so then I could just lift the whole smoker off of the fire basket while cooking so I could add wood whenever I want. I would have the fire basket sitting on an iron sheet which would rest on...
